Politicians in America and Britain today are checking in with calls for more air strikes and a deeper military engagement against ISIS.
As if no one had learned from everything that's happened so far that all you get when you join in with others making a mess is a bigger mess.
In the US, the usual Republican suspects (McCain and his buddies) are demanding more, more.
And the media are screaming with alarm that the emergence of ISIS is already a disaster and any further success for it would be just unspeakably terrible for America, just unspeakably.
Something must be done, something must be done, war is something, war must be done.
And guess who has to do it.
Update, later that same day.
And the polls?
When O wanted to attack Assad in Syria the public yelled in protest and the Congress refused to support him.
Now?
